It’s a new year, and resolutions abound! If you are like us, you probably have quite a few hopes and plans for 2008. Our designers have shared some great tips to bring a little new life to your home. A few simple – and affordable – changes may be the perfect way to kick-off 2008!

 

Update your table setting with a few new serving pieces.  A new serving platter, warming dish, or carafe can liven up a neutral table setting while still allowing for seasonal flexibility.  Postcard from Paris is an authorized retailer for Match, an exquisite line of hand-crafted Italian pewter. Take a look online.

 

Make a cozy, comfortable space for yourself somewhere in your home. Try a soft new throw blanket, down-filled pillows and a new floor lamp.

 

New bedding or accent pieces, such as throw pillows, accent pillows, or throws, are an ideal way to change the look and feel of a space without expensive upholstery work. 

 

Or if you're ready for a full furniture update for the new year, our design team can help you with that, too. In addition to European antiques, we carry an extensive line of high-end furnishings from Century Furniture, Henredon, Theodore Alexander, Julia Gray, Bernhardt, Drexel-Heritage, Roche Bobois, and many more. A wide-ranging selection of fabrics, lighting, artwork and accessories is also available to complete the new look!
 
Freshen up a stale room with a fresh, new paint color.  Postcard from Paris designers can help you make sense of the hottest new colors or the most classic of palettes.  And try some new accessories in complementary accent colors!

 

De-clutter your life with a consultation with one of our designers.   We can help you decide which pieces in your home should stay and which should be considered for retirement!  Then, we’ll make the best use of what you have or help you add the perfect new pieces. If you prefer, stop by and browse our 11,000-square-foot retail showroom.

 

Make a commitment to learn more about the green movement.  We can help you select new appliances, plumbing fixtures, and lighting that can help reduce energy and water consumption and potentially harmful effects to the environment.  In addition, we carry furnishings from a number of companies that have made a commitment to a more eco-friendly manufacturing process and work with wood from certified sustainable forests, natural or recycled fabrics with healthier dyes, and the like.

 

Here’s to a safe and happy 2008. Come see us at Postcard from Paris.
